WWE had an incredible live event at Newcastle

WWE's Live Event tour in Europe has been gaining full steam and they've been covering country after country. It's indeed a crazy schedule, because both rosters have hardly been getting a break.

However, for the first time in nearly three years, it feels as though the roster has been entirely mixed and matched for the live events. Both touring brands feature superstars from both RAW and SmackDown, though the Liverpool Live Event saw mostly RAW stars go at it.

Without going much further, here's what happened at the epic live event.

#8. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs The Revival

Aleister Black and Ricochet returned in full force and how!

Aleister Black & Ricochet reunited in the live event circuit. Separated by brands, the two have moved on to their own singles journey, but for this live event, they got to relive their brief tag team partnership.

This time they took a team who they beat on more than one occasion - The Revival. This time around, The Revival's sneaky tactics didn't help them, as the duo of Ricochet & Black overcame them to win the match.

#7. Titus O' Neil vs EC3

EC3 feels like a lost cause at this point

EC3 has had absolutely no luck since coming to the main roster so far. He has basically spent his time on Main Event losing to the likes of Tyler Breeze. It's hard to imagine why WWE has gone out of their way to bury EC3 - particularly when he represents everything that Vince McMahon looks for in a top star.

Either way, the burial tour continued for EC3 as he took on Titus O' Neil. To nobody's suprise, EC3 lost decisively.

#6. Beth Phoenix & Natalya vs Ruby Riott & Liv Morgan

New NXT commentator and WWE legend Beth Phoenix was announced to be a part of the European tour. Following her in-ring return at WrestleMania, she looked to continue her momentum as she reunited the Divas of Doom to take on 2/3rds of the Riott Squad.

It was a successful effort for Natalya and the WWE Hall of Famer, as they were able to displace the tag team.

WALTER (c) vs Pete Dunne - WWE United Kingdom Championship

Pete Dunne wasn't able to overcome WALTER

This was WALTER's first major opportunity touring with the main roster. Being in the United Kingdom, it only made sense that he defended the United Kingdom championship, a title that he won after ending Pete Dunne's 650+ day reign with the title.

Like the match at NXT Takeover: New York, they put on a stellar performance, with WALTER coming out on top.

#4. Becky Lynch (c) vs Lacey Evans and Tamina - RAW Women's Championship

Becky Lynch has a daunting task ahead of her at Money in the Bank, as she defends her RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship against Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair respectively.

On this night, however, she chose to continue to be a fighting champion, as she defended the RAW Women's Championship in a triple threat match. While she came close on multiple occasions to losing the title, Becky 2 belts prevailed, walking out with both belts still intact.

#3. Apollo Crews vs Mojo Rawley

Every live event needs a filler match where fans can take a breather. Apollo Crew vs Mojo Rawley was this match. It was nothing fascinating per se, but it served its purpose. Apollo Crews picked up the victory with relative ease.

#2. Finn Balor (c) vs Elias - Intercontinental Championship

Both new SmackDown superstars Finn Balor and Elias went at it at Liverpool, with Balor putting his Intercontinental title on the line. Elias did challenge for the title last year, but was unsuccessful in doing so.

He got a lot of heat before the match began as he wore a Manchester City jersey. Balor was over as he always is in the United Kingdom. The Intercontinental Champion ended up retaining the title.

#1. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley & Drew McIntyre

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins had an honourary Shield member in Braun Strowman. Despite all the differences, the team got along smooth and took on the not-so-exciting trio of Corbin, McIntyre and Lashley.

It was a solid main event, with the babyfaces picking up the big win to send the crowd home happy.
